DHR Tallapoosa Co - FY27 Lawn Service

Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources is requesting quotes for FY27 lawn service at its office in Dadeville, Alabama, with quotes due October 28, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on October 26, 2026 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Vendors who do not attend the site visit and sign the attendance sheet will have their quotes rejected.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State's Office before transacting business in the state. Suppliers employing one or more employees in Alabama must be enrolled in E-Verify, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will provide an exemption letter upon request.

The scope encompasses three service lines: grass cutting (not to exceed 20 cuts per fiscal year, with 15 cuts during the growing season occurring 2–3 times monthly spring and summer); shrub and hedge trimming (twice annually in spring and fall); and water retention area maintenance (six cuts April through September). Each grass cutting service includes weed eating in shrub beds, trimming and spraying around fences and buildings, edging grass lines, removal of grass and weeds from walkways and parking lot perimeters, mulching leaves, and debris removal. Services may be performed Monday through Friday or weekends, coordinated with DHR County office contacts Toni Lee (256-825-3718) and Neisha Brooks (256-825-3729).

Pricing shall be firm and fixed through September 2027, with unit pricing required for each service line. Quote responses must be valid through December 31, 2026. The contract period runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, and may be renewed annually by written agreement up to a total contract cost of $25,000 or a five-year term, whichever occurs first. Invoicing terms are net 30, paid in arrears following service completion. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis and may request price escalation justification, with approved increases not to exceed 5% of annual contract cost.
